Skype in the production environment

[Todd Bossaller <bossallert () MOVAL EDU>]

I have had a couple questions about using Skype in our production environment.  What security risks does Skype pose?  
The articles I read have been somewhat positive and somewhat negative.   Does anyone else use Skype?
What's the general consensus?

Thank you,
